Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted October 5, 2023 (I went 30 pages back in the music section and couldn’t find a thread for her music so here it is!) Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) Lín Jónsdóttir is a relatively new artist, debuting in 2020 with the single “Street by Street”. Her jazzy, bossa nova sound and voice has reached a new and younger audience; some describe it as bedroom jazz. She hopes she will bring jazz to people like Taylor Swift brought country and pop to bigger audiences. I listen to both jazz and bossa nova occasionally and accidentally came across her song “Falling Behind” when scrolling on Instagram and that song describes how I feel so well, I finally have a song I can relate to lol. I will definitely listen to more of her music in the near future! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted October 8, 2023 Finished listening to Everything I know about love, I think she's my new favorite artist! She's very talented... on to the next EP or album! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted October 12, 2023 I've listened to her albums and EP now, listening through them a second time now. Honestly surprised James doesn't have more listens on Spotify, I think it's really funny and sweet! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annedauphine 34,569 Posted October 20, 2023 I am listening to her for the first time and I have a very real crush on her music. It's amazing! It reminds me of the French musicals I love, from Michel Legrand 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted October 21, 2023 A night to remember by Laufey and beabadoobee was released yesterday! I think it sounds like the perfect mix of both their styles. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted October 21, 2023 I'm checking out her youtube channel, there are so many videos... I wanna post the music videos here so they'll be easier to find, and then I saw she has "a day in my life" type of videos too. She seems to chill and nice.

Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted October 21, 2023 I’m sad I didn’t find her earlier though, her EU/UK tour is completely sold out and from the comments I’ve read online, they seem to have been sold out within minutes because the venues are so small. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted November 8, 2023 New article/interview with Billboard, with a nice description of how it all began and where she is now: https://www.billboard.com/music/features/laufey-from-the-start-bewitched-jazz-interview-chartbreaker-1235466072/ New holiday song, and another one with Norah Jones (!) will be out this week. I haven't listened to this one yet and I think I'll wait until it's December before I do. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted February 2 Forgot to mention it here although it’s been known for a while now: Laufey is a Grammy nominee! Best traditional pop vocal album, for Bewitched! And she’ll also perform at the Grammy premiere ceremony, a few hours before the real, big thing. I hope it’ll be recorded and shared later! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted February 5 Laufey won her first Grammy yesterday for Bewitched (album), in the category traditional pop vocal album! https://www.instagram.com/p/C28zMUHrn61/?igsh=cHR3OGV3bGp6b3Jp She also performed From the start (and sounded a bit nervous in the beginning but she recovered quickly!) and got to play cello in the background with Billy Joel. I can’t find youtube videos unfortunately so check Laufey’s instagram if you want to watch the performance of From the start: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C287HVOrspj/?igsh=dXR3NmdrcTM4dzA= Billy Joel (still picture): https://x.com/laufeyland/status/1754362759574343993?s=46 AND! She’s posing for a photograph with her twin sister, Junia, and Lana! I hope they got acquainted a bit, I’ve wondered what Lana would say about Laufey since they’re both fans of jazz and Lana has even referred to herself as a jazz singer in her songs.

Beautiful Loser 46,067 Posted February 22 Laufey’s official discord server!

I wish Lana would do a book club too. Can you imagine I like Laufey's music but I don't think I could ever love it, if you know what I mean. It doesn't (yet) have that special something that would get me obsessed. Having said that, her voice is so delicate and pretty and the music is so fairytale-like. Bewitched is so lovely in particular I also looked at some of the youtube videos you posted and she seems like the sweetest soul. 1 Quote The cicadas in the sunset are your guide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like we’d get the most obscure books recommended by Lana, or someone would try to cancel her for the book choices, haha! And I get what you mean, I personally love her lyrics, they’re so sweet and romantic! Truly a daydreamer’s kind of music, haha. I think her most gorgeous songs are California and Me, and that moment when the first chorus of Haunted is done… sooo beautiful. I think Bewitched is her best album though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
